Ronaldo admitted emotions had got the better of him when he blubbed "like a kid" on picking up the Ballon d'Or in Zurich.
"There are some emotions you can't control; it was a moment you can't plan for.

"Having my son in my arms was the most amazing feeling; no father can resist a hug from his child, it was something natural. Maybe I cried too much, but I couldn't help it: it was a genuine moment of raw, honest emotion."
